2007 Sebring - Bad TIPM?
Hi folks,
I'm looking to narrow down an apparent electrical issue before I start throwing parts at my 2007 Sebring. The car had no major issues leading up to the current problem, other than it would occasionally stall at a red light.
One day, started the car, it ran for 10-15 seconds, then quit. At this point, it wouldn't turn over, no click, no nothing. Turned out there was a blown fuse in the fuse box. Replaced the fuse and the car started. However, the battery wasn't charging. I wasn't getting anything above battery voltage with the car running, so I replaced the alternator.
Now battery is charging between 13-14 volts. However, there are a whole slew of other problems:
Additionally, a bulb for the back tail light was blown (replaced and it works). I'm supposing there was a spike in the electrical system since we have blown fuses and lights?
To troubleshoot, I've done the following:
My questions are:
Thanks folks.

Now battery is charging between 13-14 volts. However, there are a whole slew of other problems:
- ABS MIL on
- Brake MIL on
- No reverse lights
- No cruise control
- No speedometer
- When coasting, car seems to "grab" and then "let go" (feels like transmission shifting issues, not brakes
- Throttle feels like it's sticking on sometimes
- Codes: U1120, U1110
Additionally, a bulb for the back tail light was blown (replaced and it works). I'm supposing there was a spike in the electrical system since we have blown fuses and lights?
To troubleshoot, I've done the following:
- Checked battery connections, checked any visible wiring for wear or corrosion and checked continuity - everything OK.
- Popped off the TIPM and looked at the connection points - everything looks OK.
- Replaced input/output sensor on transmission with spares - no effect.
My questions are:
- Could an ABS sensor/module be causing all the grief? If so, what test could one perform to isolate an ABS issue?
- Can an alternator going bad cause the TIPM to fail?
- Do any other possible causes come to mind?
Thanks folks.
